Igfig: "Please. No more death today. This one is misguided, but he does not deserve to die." frosty_the_boatman: "pretty bossy tho" Blaze: "Sorry, I tend to get a little carried away, with fire. Did I mention your garden was really nice? Not sure if you heard that earlier." Varus: COMPEL Varus: to burn the garden Orrin_Torrin: "Can you get him to stop attack us? I'd rather not hit him again, but if he hits my friends one more time I'll pound him flat." Orrin_Torrin: attacking* Varus: wait Varus: there isnt a garden Varus: :I Blaze: (the garden was back at his place with the dead king) Igfig: "I. Thank you. Yes, It has been my favorite source of serenity. I was sad to have to leave it behind again." Varus: oh yeah Varus: i just Varus: like compelling people Igfig: "We will have to conceal this one though. The Lord of Blades must not hear of this while you are still here." frosty_the_boatman: "so anyway, swordhand, about our plan to kill all fleshbags, can i get back to you on that" Varus: can we Igfig: he can't hear you Varus: wipe the dudes mind somehow frosty_the_boatman: :/ Varus: so he doesnt remember he hates mortals Varus: i mean Orrin_Torrin: I doubt it. Varus: humans frosty_the_boatman: no he is my partner Igfig: "Not likely. The Lord of Blades has instilled those values deep in this warforged's mind." Varus: dang Varus: "wait, is this not the lord of blades?" Varus: werent we fighting the lord of blades Blaze: This guy must be the Duke of Knives. Igfig: "What. No. This is. I do not know who this is. He is not one of the Lord of Blades' sergeants. Merely one of his Juggernauts, I think." Varus: "Fuck" Orrin_Torrin: The Prince of Paring. Blaze: The Admiral of Axes. frosty_the_boatman: so there is still chance for a partnership Blaze: The Colonel of Cutlery. Igfig: "Did you think. Did you think the Lord of Blades was this small. Had this few followers." frosty_the_boatman: general of jabbing Orrin_Torrin: The Regent of Ranseurs. Blaze: "We don't travel the Mournlands frequently. Blaze: " Orrin_Torrin: Vizier of Vivisection. Igfig: "Let me show you something." Blaze: The Shogun of Shredding. Varus: "Not to mention the legends aren't exactly clear on his numbers" Orrin_Torrin: Honestly, I think Yin already won with Colonel of Cutler. Orrin_Torrin: Cutlery* Igfig: He goes to walk down another side canyon. Igfig: "Come" Varus: yeah Igfig: the sides of the canyon arch overhead, becoming a tunnel Orrin_Torrin: I guess we follow him. Varus: colonel of cultery was the winner frosty_the_boatman: sarge of swords Igfig: the tunnel leads down Igfig: and then, suddenly, it opens up Blaze: "Shouldn't we disguise or is the trip longer?" frosty_the_boatman: knight of knives Igfig: a great cavern, walls and ceilings of glass, hazy shafts of light filtering down from above frosty_the_boatman: much better than duke imho Igfig: and inside Orrin_Torrin: Is Fartfignuggen. Blaze: Yeah, that duke one was before the not enough words for alliteration really got rolling. Orrin_Torrin: I mean Lord of Blades is not alliterative, either. Orrin_Torrin: We just kind of started doing that. frosty_the_boatman: baron of blade frosty_the_boatman: s Igfig: it must be a good middling-sized town, floating in the middle of another, somewhat larger town Orrin_Torrin: SCENE Varus: neato Varus: we're getting kinda off track Igfig: and by floating, I mean Igfig: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090108212855/eberron/images/e/e6/Argonth.jpg Varus: who are we going to to find out who killed the king again>? Orrin_Torrin: That's badass! Orrin_Torrin: Presumably, Chain is going to tell us once we sort out this mess. He said he'd take us to his ally who knew more. Varus: but Varus: oohh and that was the lord of blades Varus: right Varus: okay frosty_the_boatman: just enjoy the float city Igfig: "The Lord of Blades is there. His followers surround him in the tens of thousands. Welcome to Mobile Fortress Chydris." Igfig: And SCENE Varus: dang Varus: DANG Varus: well Varus: we might have to take care of this guy eventually Varus: so lets tally Varus: we need to Varus: prevent a world ending war Varus: stop the constructs from making a new god Varus: and stop the colonel of cutlery from waging war and slaughtering all fleshy beings Blaze: Maybe. Blaze: I don't know if they leave the Mournlands much. Igfig: wait, do any of you besides Varus actually have a problem with the Becoming God frosty_the_boatman: no frosty_the_boatman: i want to help, really Blaze: I don't think so? Blaze doesn't care much about divine stuff, not his deal. Varus: well i just think it wouldnt be a good idea and could spawn ANOTHER war over the religion if they suddenly introduced another god frosty_the_boatman: Varus is just being controlling Varus: yeah Igfig: I mean, I think it's great if you guys disagree on this Orrin_Torrin: I mean it's fair to say so, but I feel like they have as much right as anybody to worship as they see fit. Igfig: I'm not going to say who's right or wrong, if any Orrin_Torrin: Especially in Eberron, where religion is far less active than other settings. Varus: I'd agree but bringing a real living god physically into the world Varus: that aint good Orrin_Torrin: Why not? frosty_the_boatman: says you Varus: ppeople would rebel Varus: wouldnt it get in the way of the dragon prophecy thing? Blaze: It might fulfill part of the prophecy for all we know. Igfig: that's a great question Orrin_Torrin: Probably not. As long as the Godforged don't attack anybody afterward, I don't know how they'd even know. Varus: i cant imagine a god coming into being being a minor event Orrin_Torrin: I didn't say it'd be a minor event. Varus: people with spies Varus: connections Orrin_Torrin: I just don't know why it'd cause a war. Varus: theyd find out Varus: word would spread Varus: because itd go against the established religion Orrin_Torrin: And even if it does, that's still basically saying you should prevent them from establishing their own religion because other people might get mad. Igfig: there are a lot of established religions Orrin_Torrin: Yeah there are a TON of existing religions. frosty_the_boatman: ^ Varus: well Varus: exactly Varus: see Varus: but theyd all be gone against with the birth of some new god Orrin_Torrin: So why would one new one that only the warforged follow make a difference? Orrin_Torrin: The existing religions aren't at war. frosty_the_boatman: i might even convert if i helped make it Igfig: you guys might want to check out a book called The Adventurer's Guide to Eberron Orrin_Torrin: Everybody coexists. Varus: that might help yar Varus: i say we read that before we think about what to do about them making a god Varus: help, prevent, or do nothing Orrin_Torrin: I mean I read all the religion stuff when I was picking my own god. Igfig: it's a good, spoiler-free introduction to the setting for players Blaze: Get some lore down, I've read some books that were in the Eberron setting, the Heirs of Ash trilogy, though I haven't finished them actually. Blaze: That showcased some fun stuff though, like the boneyard near the Talenta plains whose name I forget, that shrieking chasm that is probably full of demons, the city of necromancers with walls made of bones. frosty_the_boatman: so yeah, i think helping people to make a god is as good a way to spend my war time as any, really Igfig: I'm not sure what's in the novels, but I'd caution against reading any more before the end of this campaign Igfig: because there are some things that are pretty easy to learn that would be big spoilers for this story frosty_the_boatman: Varus is just a lame fuddy-duddy Blaze: I wouldn't worry too much, I got those years ago and I don't remember if I finished the second book, yar. Varus quit. Blaze: He fuddy-duddied out. Igfig: Well, how about on that note, we bid Fortuna goodbye and retire back to Skype Orrin_Torrin: Good night, Fortuna. Igfig: Goodnight Fortuna Blaze: Hurrah for fun times. Blaze: Night Fortuna. Orrin_Torrin: BYE FORTUNA Igfig: huh, does she not respond to goodnight? Orrin_Torrin: SAY SOMETHING FORTUNA frosty_the_boatman: peace out, Fortuna Orrin_Torrin: Fortuna plz Igfig: NOTE respond to goodnight, bye, etc Fortuna: Noted. Orrin_Torrin: I feel like she used to. Orrin_Torrin: Hello Fortuna. Fortuna: Good evening. Blaze: Thanks fortuna. Fortuna: You're welcome. Igfig: don't worry fortuna we still love you Fortuna blushes. frosty_the_boatman: good night Fortuna
